"B-b-but it must be your crappy connection because I have lot of wins!"
I'm glad the guy who wrote the guide is in here to tell the doubters what Skilletor and I have been saying since day 1.
I'm watching lobby streams right now it looks incredibly smooth. It must be your connection.
But seriously speaking, I said online would make or break this game for me and I wasn't joking. I've since sold DoA5.

Damn, played for 4 horus straight, time to sleep now, 2am.
oh lawd it literally got DOA vs VF in here
I still haven't bothered trying to get Lisa's thing. So horrible. I don't want to deal with survival mode for that. Just let me eject the disc and pop it out of someone down on the ground like a fruit or martini.
Or that DOA5's offline modes were as good as the ones in earlier DOAs.

Completed my first, and probably last, Command Training with Mila
Noticed some more lag earlier today, which was bothersome for the most part. And for some reason, I had trouble searching for a ranked match earlier this afternoon (even after customizing the search criteria)
I'm hoping it was just a fluke

I think I may well be more casual than I thought. I have played SF4, SSF4, T6, BlazBlue, VF5/FS, MK9 and as far as fun goes DOA5 is my favourite :/ I just hope the online play gets another good patch because I am really enjoying the fighting, level design/interactivity and just the visuals in general.
i adore the counter system so much.

I like both VF and DOA5 tons with slight favoritism to DOA because of the speed.(I handle myself pretty good in both games) With Tekken I havent clicked with it the times I've played the games (I play it decently but I dont like how the combat feels and not into the juggle fest)

Im sitting here playing Survival and listening to the radio and that Lincon Park song comes on.
"Ï tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesnt even matter". I think that sums up Survival mode perfectly.
Yesterday, I got to level 91 with Lisa and lost to an input-reading, turtle-cow named Hitomi.

Legend now, right ?
I was looking at DOA5 saves and files in my Xbox and noticed that they called the free DLC "DLC 06".
Im not even gonna bother with survival mode. I don't have the patience to reach 100 and if I go far enough only to fail it would really piss me off. Hopefully the bikini's will be in some future costume pack, not that I care either way.

Nope. Still stuck on Master. Ive been playing all weekend and just cant finish it. Its just so damn boring
I feel like I cant enjoy the game until Ive got that suit. Lisas other suits are so comparatively boring and she is one of my favorite characters.
I wouldnt be suprized if they released the orange or green version of it in future DLC, once TN realize no one is going to be able to use the existing silver one.

Wait for DLC. XD
Uhm.. any advice to be a bit better on this for someone new to the Dead or Alive franchise? ( played some vf5, sf, tekken.. etc)
I feel like i'll be like a character in traning mode, those mostly by having a friend that have been on the franchise for so long
what exactly are you having trouble with?

Oh God! I *just* beat Master Survival by the skin of my teeth with Lisa. My arms are shaking from the elbow down. So many hours, has it taken me. So much rage, anxiety and swearing.
Brad Wong was my final boss. I hate fighting him. Stupid stance bullshit etc. I mainly kept whacking him with Lisas 6p+b. I was freaking out and lucky to get through. But Survival is about 90% luck because it goes on for so damn long.
Please let legendary Survival be comparable to the previous difficulties.

Nah man. You're wrong. I just got to level 79 on Legend and there is no noticeable difference between this and the lesser (from Champ) difficulties. Praise the Lord!
Unless TN troll me by making the final 10 fights some kind of higher level nightmare, that swimsuit will soon be mine.
Mwahahah

Had some matches with Maitre_Sega(or was it Sega_Maitre). Ranked 16 in the world. I was able to beat him a couple of times.

So... as much as I've been waiting on the game.
I... don't like it.
and really... it's ALL because of the story mode. It was so oft-putting that i don't even want to play the rest of the game. It wasn't difficult or anything it's just that the story is so bad no amount of japanese cheese can save it. I wished i never touched that mode... seriously... it jaded the entire experience because each stage I fight on reminds me of a terrible scene from the story mode.
I honestly wish that in DOA 6 they'll go back to each character having their own endings.
I'm going to try and play this game some more... i haven't played online yet so that could also be my issue but so far... i just think of that terrible story mode that prevents me from playing

Dude the story mode in DOA5 is like Blade Runner compared to some of the character endings in previous DOA games.

Was there even a story mode? Didn't notice, have been playing online all the time.

The STORY of a FIGHTING GAME is making you sour on the entire experience?
My cannot comprehend the amount of fuckery that is going on here.

I only played story mode for the missions and special characters, and skipped most of the cutscenes (too bad for that achievement...). I don't remember the story being a strong point in DOA anyway, it's always been a silly mix-up of ninjas running after each other, shady company schemes and assassinations, and organizing a fighting tournament just because.
I only realized yesterday that Lisa was supposed to be one of the "bad guys", and I still have no idea why Elliot, Brad or Kokoro are there.

Holy fuck all of you people playing on Master and Legendary.
All I can do is beat Normal... and that is more often than not if I am lucky
You guys are whackos O________________O
So what's the secret all of you Master and Legendary conquerors? O______________O

I miss those endings.
They do have their own 'charm' I guess is one way to put it, but that is some of the stupidest shit ever displayed on a TV screen.

Stuff like Dota and Lol.
I liked the way the story mode was handled, it enforced a sense of continuity, game everyone screen time, and not binding it with endings gave it a "life goes on after this" feel to just about everyone.
The really weird part was the beginning, where one moment there's Bayman's group being ambushed, then you're sent to Mila's gym for the first trial, then back to the ambush - might as well have mae the ambush part a prologue in attract mode or something, then start with the Mila training, then have her look at a pic of Bass, show where Bass is, go to the Rig mission, and proceed from there.
what still really weirds me out in the game is the stances for the characters that have been around longer like Kasumi and Leifang - their feet are way too far apart to make those psotures viable in combat, I wonder if tweaking them and the animation from them would mess too much with frame data for sequels.

My main problem with the story of DOA is that they seem to contradict each other on the smallest of details, for literally no reason at all.

lol. I just got to level 100 on Legend Survival (fighting against Lisa in her swimsuit) and lost.
She's one of the hardest AI opponents because its so hard to hit her with wakeup (she always hops away after knocking you down), she grabs quickly and pokes like a bitch in close.
She read my inputs and spammed me with counters so theres no way I could have won that fight anyway. This is the second time Ive lost on stage 100 on survival.

I really want this costume to return in the next DLC pack.

i'd love to tell TN to make survival easier, but then your work would go to waste and that of the other 5 guys. normally i'm all for uber hard modes, i just hate when my inputs are being read.
i just want that trophy, TN can keep the swimsuit

Just making it to 99 pretty much tells me that its just a matter of time before I beat it. Thats my consolation.

I like the DoA fighting system and it works well between humans but Survival mode just highlights how it does'nt really work against bots. Their input reading can be so flagrant and their cheating so obvious. I just want that friggin swimsuit TBH

La Mariposa is actually nice to play with.
I can never understand people who play fighters for the story. It is so foreign a concept to me. So weird.

Stories are a nice extra, but how it can off put anyone to play it anymore is beyond me.
I have skipped every cutscene so far, lol.
